Three hundred and fifty-two caves at the bottom of the lake

As if gliding through the void, he rushed towards the giant hyena.

In the face of the sudden attack, the giant hyena folded its front paws and sat up, its tall and mighty body like a small mountain.

As it stabilized its shape, the giant hyena's sharp claws swung vigorously and slapped towards the oncoming paladin.

"Whew......!"

The giant hyena's huge palms, which were as thick as a fan, waved like a hurricane passing by, and the sound of the wind whistle shook people's ears numbly.

In the face of such a ferocious and fierce attack, everyone seemed to have seen the fate of the paladin's skin and flesh and broken bones, and unconsciously tilted their heads slightly, trying to avoid the bloody scene that was coming.

Reality is often contrary to everyone's thoughts, and in the face of the sudden attack of the giant claw, the paladin suddenly stagnated the energy output, and his body sank violently, and the whole person fell to the ground at great speed.

"I'll go! This man's reaction speed is good!"

"It's a shame, I thought that this giant beast would end the battle soon with one slap!"

The ferocious attack of the giant hyena's front paws almost grazed the knight's helmet, but it failed to hurt the opponent in the slightest, and immediately stunned the onlookers.

Just as everyone was thinking and discussing, the paladin, who was already approaching the giant hyena, jumped up in vain and waved the sword in his hand and slashed through the neck of the giant hyena from the bottom up.

"Woo ......!"

The sound of metal slicing across the rock sounded, and the expected splattering of blood did not happen, but sporadic sparks were gradually emanating from the place where the sword passed.

The huge hyena was not affected in the slightest, but the paladin who attacked with a sword was shaken away by the force of the recoil.

"Boom......!"

The paladin's unbalanced figure flew out upside down and slammed into the hugging tree not far away, and the tall and sturdy giant tree instantly cracked, and countless broken wood chips scattered and fell in all directions.

The knights of Fanbang reflexively turned slightly, and couldn't bear to look at the miserable situation of their partners.

"Bastard, your neck is very hard, Lao Tzu doesn't bully women, now it's up to you to attack!"

The paladin, who slowly crawled out of the hollow of the giant tree, found that the sword could not destroy the skin of the giant hyena, so he wanted to use the surrounding environment to inflict a heavy physical blow on him.

The paladin stood firm, raised the long sword in his hand to his chest, and after nodding slightly to everyone, he straightened his arm and raised the sword above his head.

Pulling out two beautiful sword flowers in the void, his arm slowly slid to his side, and he quietly waited for the giant hyena's attack to strike.

"Whew......!"

The paladin, who was full of strength and nervousness, felt a strange energy approaching at a rapid speed, and immediately looked at everything around him with a panicked expression.

In an instant, the bluestone ground under the paladin's feet began to shake violently in vain, and the thick and solid bluestone turned into quicksand in the blink of an eye.

Before the paladin could react, he drowned most of his body with great speed.

Then the ground returned to its previous state as if nothing had happened.

"Damn! The strength of this giant hyena is not inferior to the one we encountered, and this trick alone is three points more powerful than that one!"

Zhang Lingyun, who was already shocked by the scene in front of him, connected the phoenix feather meandering vulture and the thousand-faced sand cat very secretly through the connection between the contracts.

When the three parties could communicate without barriers, Zhang Lingyun took the lead in expressing his thoughts at this time.

"I feel that in this battle, the girls of the 'Dragon Hidden Holy Land' will win steadily, and we shouldn't need to make a move!"

"I seem to have something wrong, and I always feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy coming over me!"

As soon as the thousand-faced sand cat finished speaking, the phoenix feather meandering vulture expressed the bad feelings that had been suppressed for a long time, hoping to hear everyone's opinions.

"You stupid bird is crazy, isn't it!? Could it be that the ancestor of this hyena has a connection with some distant relative of yours?"

"Silly cat, stupid cat, shut your broken mouth!

The thousand-faced sand cat wanted to make a joke casually, but it wasn't until the phoenix feather meandering vulture was furious that the sand cat's IQ was on the line, and he understood that what he had just said was a bit excessive, so he immediately closed his mouth and pretended to be dumb.

"There is a wisp of divine beast Xuanwu inheritance hidden in Feng Yu's spiritual sense, could it be that it senses that little Xuanwu?"

Zhang Lingyun, who had great trust in the phoenix feather vulture, tried hard to recall the bits and pieces of entering this place, until the scene of the phoenix feather coming back from the bottom of the water came to his mind, and he immediately said his analysis.

"Roar, look! This intimacy is really related to blood!"

Hearing Zhang Lingyun's explanation, the thousand-faced sand cat instantly straightened his waist, and while retorting at the phoenix feather and the vulture, he was also extremely proud that he could guess the truth by telling nonsense!

"Since we promised the Divine Beast Xuanwu before, we have the responsibility to rescue his child!

Zhang Lingyun directly ignored the playful behavior of the thousand-faced sand cat, and calmly comforted the phoenix feather vulture, hoping that she would not drop the chain at this critical moment.

"Hey, this feeling is getting stronger, you guys follow me!"

The phoenix feather condor has already figured it out, and it will not erase a fresh little life for the slightest benefit.

When the phoenix feather meandered and contemplated, sensing the palpitations with all her heart, she found in vain that there was an inexplicable energy in the void that was pulling her.

Ignoring the intensifying battle on the platform, everyone only followed the footsteps of the phoenix feather vulture, surrounded the huge school field, and came to the back mountain position facing the bluestone steps.

"Silly bird, are you taking the wrong path?"

Looking at the thick and dense clouds in the distance and the clear lake water hundreds of meters square in front of him, the thousand-faced sand cat only felt that his knowledge was too short-sighted and could not keep up with the torrent of this era.

"That's right!

Such a strange scene in front of him made the phoenix feather vulture, which was a divine beast, also startled, and couldn't help but grab her hair and fall into contemplation.

This place is more than a kilometer away from the ground, if it is a small puddle, it can be regarded as water vapor, but the unusually clear and bottomless lake in front of it is a little inexplicable.

"Feng Yu, if you want to hide the treasure when you are in deep danger...... What will you do?"

There was lake water in the distance, and the phoenix feather and vultures said that the little Xuanwu was ahead, and Zhang Lingyun couldn't help but have a strange idea in his heart.

"It's dark under the lights! Hide until the enemy will pass by at any time, but no matter what, he won't go where he thinks about it!"

Regarding Zhang Lingyun's strange question, although Feng Yu was a little confused, he also gave the answer very seriously.

"You said that this Xuanwu likes water and has a lake here, will that little guy be hidden underwater!?"

The thousand-faced sand cat, who has been staring at the lake in a daze, came to a strange but realistic conclusion because of the conversation between the two.

"Ahem...... I don't know water, so I won't join in the fun!"

Hearing that he might dive, the phoenix feather vulture, which was the prototype of the head of the bird, unconsciously swallowed his saliva and trembled, and stepped back a few steps in succession to put aside the relationship.

"Don't study me, Miss Ben doesn't like water!"

Seeing that the phoenix feather meandering vulture pot was so straightforward, the thousand-faced sand cat also put forward a refusal, after all, the prototype is the cat's own self, and even taking a bath can be saved, and such a deep lake is even more reluctant to touch it.

"Alas, how can you girls do such dangerous hard work, just wait here!"

Zhang Lingyun saw that the sand cat coincided with his own thoughts, and his heart was even deeper, and Xiao Xuanwu thought below.

Hearing that the two heroes who are not afraid of heaven and earth are not afraid of the heroines, and now they are so resistant to going into the water, Zhang Lingyun couldn't help laughing, and blew himself up to find out.

Zhang Lingyun has been in Laoshan since he was a child, fishing and eating in the turbulent and complex streams and rivers, and he has no feeling for this static water source at all.

After stacking his robes neatly, Zhang Lingyun stood on the edge of the lake, took a sharp breath, and jumped into the water with his knees slightly bent.

Suddenly, the old silt in the stream was driven by the current, and it rolled up wantonly, making the originally crystal clear lake water turbid.

Zhang Lingyun, who couldn't see, hung in the lake in desperation, slowly releasing a wisp of spiritual power and spreading in all directions.

In order not to let the two sides who were fighting find out about the abnormality, Zhang Lingyun was engrossed in controlling the scope of spiritual sense exploration, and as soon as he touched the rock wall in the lake, he stopped expanding.

Even though Zhang Lingyun was so cautious, he still found a strange depression at the bottom of the lake that he couldn't see.

After making sure that there was nothing else unusual, Zhang Lingyun swam towards the depression, and when he saw that the depression turned out to be a dark and secluded hole, he couldn't help but feel a chill welling up in his heart.

"Are you alright? Did you find anything?"

Staring at the phoenix feather meandering in the lake, watching the ripples on the still lake surface stir up, he greeted Zhang Lingyun softly.

"There's a cave below the lake, and it's so smooth that I'm not sure if it's man-made?"

"Why don't we go down and have a look!"

When the phoenix vulture heard that there was a hole at the bottom of the lake, she couldn't hold back her curiosity, and grabbed the sleeve of the thousand-faced sand cat not far away with a wave of her hand.

"Ahem...... I'm old, and the water is too cold, so you should go down...... Ah......h

The thousand-faced sand cat, who didn't understand water at all, just politely rejected Feng Yu's proposal, and was shocked by a force from behind him.

The whole person directly turned over the mound of soil more than one meter high in front of him and fell towards the slightly turbid lake.

"Hey, you really don't know how to water!?"

Feng Yu Cun, who thought that the other party was hypocritically trying to make a joke, looked at the pale thousand-faced sand cat in the lake, and covered her eyes with shame, wanting to block this extremely embarrassing scene.

"Here, alas, you stay still...... Don't splash in the water!"

Seeing that there was really no water not far away, and the thousand-faced sand cat that had already begun to choke on water, Zhang Lingyun immediately lifted everyone's invisibility talisman, revealing his body to facilitate the sand cat to identify the direction, and at the same time, he swam towards it at a high speed.

"Hold me by the shoulder!"

Just as Zhang Lingyun was about to grab the wrist of the thousand-faced sand cat, the phoenix feather meandering vulture suddenly appeared in the lake, and very accurately pulled up the arm of the thousand-faced sand cat and put it on the shoulder, so that it got out of the danger of drowning.

"Don't expect me to thank you!

"Hey, I can't wear this dress when it gets wet, it's a pity!"

The thousand-faced sand cat, who was still angry just now, waved his arm to check the placket of his clothes after being reminded by the phoenix feather condorm.

When he found that the incomparably precious silver filament was bent, the thousand-faced sand cat immediately became angry, waving his arms and strikingly towards the phoenix feather vulture.

"Ahh

Faced with the retaliation of the silly cat in his arms, the phoenix feather meandering vulture directly stopped paddling, and the whole person pulled the thousand-faced sand cat to sink into the lake at great speed.

Such a shocking change frightened the soul of the thousand-faced sand cat not possessed its body, and immediately gave up the so-called dignity and arrogance, and softened towards the phoenix feather vulture that was related to his life and death.

"Don't make trouble, the cave is very deep, and the sand cat can't water, I'm afraid it will be dangerous!"

Zhang Lingyun did not intervene in the fight between the two, but the next stealth move is dangerous for a cat demon who doesn't know how to water at all!

"How long can you hold your breath?"

The phoenix feather condor turned her face very seriously, staring at the thousand-faced sand cat hanging around her neck, waiting for the other party to give her a true answer.

"Suck ...... Well, 1...... 2...... 3...... 15, suck, about fifteen counts!"

Knowing that his answer was directly related to the safety of everyone underwater, the thousand-faced sand cat directly started the apnea experiment in front of everyone.

"Xiao Yun'er will walk by herself, and I will take the kitten first!"

The phoenix feather condor slowly paddled in front of Zhang Lingyun, waved his hand slightly to show that he was below, and then turned his gaze to the sand cat beside him.

After the thousand-faced sand cat gave the gesture that it had held its breath, the phoenix feather meandering vulture jumped out of the water with the sand cat in vain, turned around and turned its head towards the lake, and suddenly burst into majestic spiritual power fluctuations in the void, falling towards the lake.

With the ferocious spiritual power fluctuations continuously released by the phoenix feather vulture, the lake water that had just calmed down set off layers of ripples, and the silt and dirt at the bottom of the lake were completely stirred.

At this time, the lake has lost its previous transparent appearance, and it is not an exaggeration to compare it to the muddy swamp.

"Well, it's better for me to go first!"

Zhang Lingyun looked at the dirty lake water and sighed deeply, in order to prevent hurting his eyes, he closed his eyes tightly, released a wisp of spiritual power to explore the way, and swam to the bottom of the lake.

Coming to the sunken cave again, Zhang Lingyun groped his way inward according to the information fed back by his spiritual sense.

After discovering the rotten wooden objects, Zhang Lingyun finally determined that this place was excavated by hand.

Swimming along the slightly winding cave at great speed, Zhang Lingyun finally came to the end of the cave when he was about to lose his hold.

"Whew...... It's a weird place! There is a smooth wood under the water, apparently ...... Damn!"

Zhang Lingyun, who suddenly appeared on the water's surface, instantly felt a lot more relieved when he looked at the familiar faces by the water.

He had just ascended the stone steps under the pull of the phoenix feather meandering vulture, but he was shocked by the scene in the huge stone cave, and almost fell into the icy lake again.

The vast cavern is lit up with countless torches, and the patterns on the stone walls are faintly visible due to moisture.

Close to the wall, there are rows of neatly placed fresh corpses, giving people a terrifying feeling of hair standing on end.

All the dead bodies were pale, their round eyes were white, and the seven orifices were imprinted with bright red blood marks.

So far, it is not the point that makes Zhang Lingyun be shocked, the key is that all the corpses do not show the pain before death at all, and each corpse has a hideous smile on the corner of their mouth.

"Look at what I'm doing, we've just arrived!"

Gradually returning to normal from the suffocation of choking water, the thousand-faced sand cat harvested Zhang Lingyun's eyes full of curiosity.

"There are many reasons for bleeding from these seven orifices, and the common one is the rupture of blood vessels caused by pressure changes in the human body!"

"I want to ask why they laugh?"

Zhang Lingyun was so frightened by the strange expressions of the corpses around him that his face turned bloodless, and he froze in place.

In addition, he had just come out of the lake, and his whole body was cold and his brain was in chaos, so he could only throw questions to the relatively normal two people to seek answers.

"Although I have lived for many years, I don't know much about this dead man!"

The sand cat circled around the corpse twice, finding no obvious injuries, and picked up a wooden stick on the ground and poked the surface of the corpse.

I found that with a smiling face in front of me, the body of the corpse that had been dead for at least a few years had strange elasticity on the skin, just like a living person.

"Since entering this cave, I feel that the connection with that little Xuanwu has become closer! Although I don't know what else is strange here, if I want to find Xiao Xuanwu, I have to keep walking!"

The phoenix feather vulture understands everyone's panic very well, but since the person has come down, there is no reason to return in vain.

Moreover, as a divine beast, unless someone from the fairy world comes, in the face of any danger, with the ability of the phoenix feather and vulture, he can turn the danger into a disaster!

"If you want to go deeper into it, there is only one way to go on the side!"

Since jumping into the murky lake, Zhang Lingyun seems to have regained the unrestrained feeling he had when he traveled with his companions.

You don't have to worry about being discovered by others, you can release your spiritual sense to explore the surrounding landforms, saving you a lot of troubles about imposing yourself.

After Zhang Lingyun used the dust purification technique to dry his clothes, the three of them, under the leadership of the phoenix feather vulture, slowly entered the dim corridor.

I don't know how far they went, but everyone only felt that the air was getting thinner and thinner, and even breathing seemed a little difficult, as if they would suffocate if they continued.

"There seems to be light ahead, go over and take a look!"

At this moment, the phoenix feather vulture, which was walking in the forefront, shook the torch in his hand, and a point of light appeared in front of the road.

The three people who felt that hope was in front of them involuntarily quickened their pace, and soon came to a jade arch.

At this moment, everyone realized that the point of light was a stone door as smooth as a mirror, and the accident caused by the reflection was not a real exit or something else.

"The two gluttons in this relief are very expressive, as if they are about to jump off from above, and the craftsmen are good!"

The thousand-faced sand cat looked around with a torch in hand, and finally was attracted by the relief on the arch, as if enchanted, and walked towards the gluttonous relief.

"Get out! There's psychedelic spells on it!"

The phoenix feather vulture, which noticed something strange about the sand cat, waved its hand and slapped the arm of the thousand-faced sand cat in vain.

"What......'s going on?"

With a burst of gasping sounds, the thousand-faced sand cat staggered and hit the stone wall of the Yongdao, shaking his head with his hands on his forehead, turning his body and looking at the two of them with a blank face.

"It's okay, this door can't be opened!"

Zhang Lingyun, who intended to excuse the violent behavior of the phoenix feather condor, waved his hand and pushed the stone arch hard, thinking about diverting the attention of the thousand-faced sand cat, but found that the stone gate really did not move.

"This ...... ,Well,It's a little meaning.,Just hand me over!"

The thousand-faced sand cat staring at the stone gate again, when he found the gluttony on the left and right, instantly understood that he had just hit the stone wall, not because of breathing difficulties, but because of this magic circle!

The thousand-faced sand cat with the fire surging in his heart calmly waved his hand to caress the surface of the stone gate, slowly released his spiritual sense to output spiritual power, and carefully probed the loopholes of this magic circle.

"Click, click......!"

As the spiritual power of the thousand-faced sand cat continued to gush out, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile, and bursts of crisp sounds like broken glass circulated in this empty corridor.

The stone door, which had just been tightly sealed, opened automatically trembling in vain, although the surface was intact.

"Whew......!"

The biting cold wind blew in their faces, making the three of them shiver involuntarily, and shivered backwards against the wall, quietly waiting for the yin wind to blow.

As the cold wind dissipated, everyone felt a mysterious atmosphere peeking through the darkness, and they all stood in front of the archway, wondering whether they should enter it.

"Oops! no matter how mysterious and terrifying it is, it's mortal, fight!"

The phoenix feather vulture, which had been entangled for a long time, gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and made a look of openness, quietly walked behind Zhang Lingyun, and pushed him out violently.

"Ahh......h It's just a chicken thief!haha, haha!"

Listening to the laughter of the thousand-faced sand cat, Zhang Lingyun sighed helplessly, waved his hand and drew a divine fire talisman in the void and threw it.

As several fireballs floated in the void, the general structure of the entire stone room became clear, and in the vast stone room of hundreds of square meters, there were figures standing in strange postures in every corner.

Zhang Lingyun drove the fireball slowly closer, and found that the half-kneeling figures in the corner were four heavily armed bronze armor.

Each bronze armor holds an eight-foot spear and a bronze mirror in the other, each aimed at the middle of the chamber.

"Hehe, are we in the tombs of those big people!?"

The thousand-faced sand cat, which came slowly, was the first to notice the square giant sarcophagus on the stone platform in the center of the huge stone room.

"How can you be sure this is a tomb!?

The phoenix feather vulture, which was completely blindfolded, slowly approached the sarcophagus, and carefully recognized the patterns on it, but it didn't see a clue for a long time, so it had to turn its gaze to the thousand-faced sand cat again.

"The coffin system was spread in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the coffin is also known as the longevity coffin, the longevity fang, the old house, the ten major pieces, etc., which is specially designed for the deceased to set up a cabinet to carry human remains.

The coffin of the Son of Heaven is fourfold, the coffin of the person is called the coffin, which is covered with buffalo skin, the second is also weighed by the earth, made of basswood, the third is called the genus, and the fourth is called the big coffin.

And the burial system with pure stone as the coffin should still be before the Western Zhou Dynasty, if this is the case, this sarcophagus ...... I'm afraid it's been thousands of years!"

The thousand-faced sand cat, who has royal blood, knows a lot about these coffins, and when explaining their origin, he can't help but discover a huge secret!
